What a coincidence... I am planning a trip to NYC and called the Intrepid a
few months ago for some information.  The address is INTREPID SEA AIR SPACE
MUSEUM, INTREPID SQUARE, West 46th Street and 12th Avenue, New York, NY,
10036.  They sent me a couple of very informative brochures.  It does not 
state the hours, but admission is adults $6.00, children (6-11) $3.25, and
senior citizens $5.00.  You are free to wander the carrier on a self-guided
tour, and there is something called a "recorded tour" available.  There is a
gift shop and continuous showings of several films related to the Intrepid.
Also open for tours nearby are the guided-missle submarine USS Growler and
the destroyer USS Edson.  It sounds very interesting.  I would be interested
to hear the impressions of anyone who has been there.
